Reformist presidential hopeful Mehdi Karroubi aims to improve ties with Washington, a top aide said on Thursday, although Iran's supreme ruler urged voters to shun pro-West candidates in next month's election. If Karroubi wins the June 12 poll he will work to iron out chronic issues with Washington in a bid to ease economic sanctions imposed on Iran over its controversial nuclear plan, Mohammad Ali Najafi told reporters. "We are ready to comprehensively solve our problems regarding the United States with a motto of change for change," said Najafi, a key member of Karroubi's economic team. "Boosting foreign investment and helping private sector to use foreign partners' money, technology and management is a priority in our plans," he told a news conference.

Anybody but Ahmadinejad will win to SAVE the regime

Because deep down and aside from all the empty barkings and rhetorics, Khameneii and Co. are smart enough to know that the world does not want Mahmood any more and that their regime will not survive or will be immensely weakened with Mahmood as president in the next four years.

My bet is that for the sake of the regime's survival, they will not select Mahmood.

Moussavi will win as a Stick & Carrots Gamble

by Darius Kadivar on Thu May 21, 2009 08:03 AM PDT

For he is the best compromise for the Supreme Leader. Like this Khamenei can play Stick and Carrots with the Peoples demands.

Rezaie has no chances. Mainly because he is Ugly and Too close to the Revolutionary guards and hardliners.
